ALBERT P. ZIMMERMAN, OF SPRING VALLEY, MINNESOTA.

BAG-SUPPORT.

Application filed June 28, 1911.

To all whom it may concern:

Be itknown that I, ALBERT P. ZIMMER- MAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Spring Valley, in the county of Fillmore and State of Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bag-Supports, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in bag supports and has for its object to provide a bag support, whereby grain bags can be hung up out of reach of mice and crickets and keep them from eating holes in the bags.

Another object of the invention is to provide a support that can be readily and easily put up or taken down.

A further object of my invention is to provide a device of this character which will possess advantages in points of efliciency, durability, is inexpensive of manufacture and at the same time being extremely simle in construction and operation.

/Vith the above and other objects in view, the invention consists in the novel features of construction and the combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter described, pointed out in the claim and shown in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of my support secured to the wall; and Fig. 2 is a horizontal sectional view.

Referring more particularly to the drawings 1 indicates an angular bracket having an outwardly extending arm 2 formed integral therewith. The bracket is secured to the wall by means of the screws 3 and is rigidly braced by means of the brace 4, which is formed integral with said bracket. A shield 5 is employed, which is made of Specification of Letters Patent.

Serial No. 635,794.

sheet met-a1 or other suitable material and 1s provided with an opening 6 adapted to receive the arm 2, said shield being slidably mounted on said arm and held in an upright position by means of the converging spring arms 7 which are secured on the rear side of the shield and having their free ends 8 engaging the brace rod 4.

It will be seen that I have provided a simple support, whereby grain bags or other goods may be hung out of reach of mice, crickets, etc., and can easily be secured to the wall and quickly taken down when desired. The support can be used either with or without the shield, just as desired, and said shield can be made any size and of any suitable material.

While I have shown and described the preferred construction of my invention, it will be obvious that various changes in the details of construction and in the proportions may be resorted to for successfully carrying my invention into practice Without sacrificing any of the novel features or departing from the scope thereof.

Having thus described the invention what is claimed is In combination with a bracket having an arm, of a shield having an aperture to receive said arm, converging spring arms secured to the rear of said shield and having their free ends adapted to engage with the bracket to hold the shield in an upright position.

In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.

ALBERT P. ZIMMERMAN.
